WORKER

 

It's supposed to be a day off but there's no one else so

He shrugs on a body, checks the equipment -- eyes,

Ears, hands, thunderbolts, a rudimentary conscience --

Flicks a few switches and, watching the board light up,

Calculates the odds of the relief man defying probability

By being sober enough to cover the night shift.
